I did a google search and found it was being promoted on the Goop website and some paleo sites. I can't vouch for this site (since I'm not familiar with it) but it had an interesting article that was somewhat well-annotated (and they had NOT found studies or medical journal articles to support effectiveness on sugar…

Thank you for sharing that. How frightening, I'm sorry that happened to her!

I haven't heard of that, is that an injection? Or like an IV drip. And is it a one-time thing or something done monthly, quarterly, etc. I know they have B12 shots, which I've heard are very effective on people's energy levels when they are low on B12.

There is more than one type of anemia, mine is iron deficient anemic. You may be also, but instead it could be pernicious anemia. They're similar but have a few differences. For B12 deficient anemia most of the food recommendations look the same.…

Great advice That's a totally new one on me, molasses. Thanks!

You're welcome. I'm very iron deficient anemic, too. And I have very heavy monthly. Red meats help, and other foods that contain iron. Or take a supplement. The basic straight iron pills make me queasy. I've had a much better time with the expensive supplements that are formulated to be easier on your stomach. If you don't…

They're also usually filled with vitamins and if you have a real taste for them (other than just being sweet) you may want to get your labs checked out to see if you could be anemic. Especially if you have anything else you eat/chew on that has also has a mineral taste (like ice cubes). You may want to check if you're…

"hike I average about 14-20 miles and I usually burn between 4000 - 6000 calories." Working out 5 days a week, going on over 15 mile hikes, and eat only 1450 calories? It seems to me like it could be too low calories eaten (unless you're very short). You may want to calculate your TDEE and BMR, if you haven't yet.

This is from the WebMD page on side effects: http://www.m.webmd.com/vitamins/ai/ingredientmono-205/glucomannan "Glucomannan powder or flour is LIKELY SAFE when consumed as food.

Hi I'm not new but I'm back after a long break. Looking for fellow eaters - need to see ppl who aren't surviving on 1,200 calories. Would like some friends, please add me!

I need to lose 100 pounds and I'm down thirty from my peak. People please ADD ME if you are MODERATELY lowering calories. I loosely follow the Eat More plan, and wouldn't go back to 1200 calories again as I was a zombie LOL. I like reading what other real people eat and my diary is open. Have a great day!

I have 100 pounds to lose but down thirty from my peak...ppl please ADD ME if you MODERATELY lower calories.

I'm in my 40s and currently weigh 225. I'd love a couple new friends...anyone add me? I belong to the Eat more 2 Weigh less group. So if you're ok with someone who eats around 2,000 calories I'll be happy to be your friend!

Add me if you're eating between your BMR and your TDEE, please! (I need friends who aren't afraid of eating over 1,200 calories.) THANK YOU in advance!!!! Good luck to all of us.

Jumping back in after a 6 month hiatus. Anybody in this group ... Please add me as a friend? Sometimes I'm super chatty and then often I just fade into the wallpaper for weeks. But I still get a lot of motivation by seeing other people post their diaries and workouts and random comments. Mine are open to view! I'm no role…

I know they're not healthy, but drink diet soda! If you really can't stop drinking it, it's so much better than sugar. (For your weight and glucose. The chemicals over years of drinking it might not be good for your health.) But now it's diet focus time. Sugar makes you hungry because it's burned off quickly. It raises…

Awesome! How much weight have you lost so far? Not that it matters. You look amazing! I wish I had an hourglass figure like that!!

Two friends of mine who're dieting & I only see once a week. I'm competitive!

Clams! Very high in iron. You have to check the label tho. Some brands have little (one of the major "minced" canned brands). You'd think since clams are so high in iron, that other shellfish and fish would be too but they don't compare. (You might want to check canned salmon with the crunchy little edible bones tho.) Red…

Lol @ all the boob and bra discussions. Aren't they fun? I think Fredericks of Hollywood at the mall (and also adult shops like ConRev) regularly stock larger cup size bras. For those "lucky" enough to need them! I miss having fuller boobs, only while breast feeding were they impressive.

What even keel said, and: Supple skin and Not forming stones! :bigsmile:

I'm not disabled but I have pressure fracture. Thank you for the rowing advice! I think of the rower as an "old school" workout and need to check that out. ???? Also I didn't think if cycling! So I have 4 aerobic activities on my list now: Swimming Arm bike Spinning Rowing machine Does anybody else have any other exercises…

I have pressure fractures in my feet too. Not going to the doctors for treatment right now (don't feel like explaining because it'll be a TL/DR for sure)! It's a bummer because treadmill, walking, and incline machine are my favorite parts of a workout! I've finally acknowledged I have basically swimming to fall back on for…

I need friends too! Will you please add me? Anyone looking to lose 50 - 100+ Pounds I'd especially be grateful for. I keep reading trainers and people who only have 20 lbs to lose saying some judge mental things about others who find weight loss hard! Why? Of course we all believe in being personally responsible for our…
